ReadOnlySelect

A minimally invasive Select widget that looks and acts like a disabled select input, but still submits with the form. It works by rendering the form as disabled, and supplements it's output with a hidden input field with the same name and value. Tested in Django 3.0, probably works in Django 1.11+

Post-post-syncdb and post-post-migrate

The `post_syncdb` (Django pre-1.7) and `post_migrate` (>=1.7 and South) signals are fired for every single app. What I really wanted was one signal fired after the migration or syncdb completed. There's no official one, and all the snippets were doing horribly hacky things (and wouldn't work for South, anyway). This one will work for Django syncdb, and South migrate.

Save Geolocation for an Address based model on save()

This code will work on any model using correct address data in its fields that also require latitude and longitude data to be updated on saving. It uses pythons own default urllib and json, so no need to install 3rd party stuff to make it work. This method is preferred to getting it on the fly, due to the OVER_QUERY_LIMIT that you will get when parsing many address, this way means it stays up to day in the model and will update when any part of the address changes.
